SIRE pools key areas of strength within the Scottish Economics research base in three thematic programmes:

• Behaviour, Incentives and Contracts

• Work and Well-being

• Macroeconomics, Financial Linkages and the Regions

The administrative centre of SIRE is based at the University of Edinburgh, where the SIRE Director, John Moore, and Executive Director, Stuart Sayer, are located. In addition to its administrative and co-ordinating functions, the SIRE Centre will organise and host events and activities which exploit potentially exciting synergies that span across SIREs three thematic research programme.

Activity reports covering recruitment and highlights of all the events, including the launch conference, are now available to download:
